Looks very nice, well done on the paintjob.

BTW it looks like you only have one screw for the rear body mount.

Colin.

Cheers Colin

yeah my misses lost it so had to order another will be on this weekend.......well spotted

[Finally Finished My Sandscorcher Thought I'd Share Pics]

Really well done. Nice boxart looking scorcher.

I have to ask if the rear light modules are backwards, They look a little wonky in that rear pic. Perhaps they needed to be swapped?

Cheers,

Skottoman

We thought that ! but have tried them in both ways seems its the locating holes....

thanks for comments took our time building this as wanted a good finish

[How To Paint A Sand Scorcher]

I used car paint..Plastic primmer then ford diamond white the whole shell.

Then we used liquid mask to cover area's along with masking tape and painted the other area's in Ford Olympic blue........... wait a day to dry add 5 coats of clear coat

That looks great Paul, a proper street machine. Good work getting it into not one, but two magazines...

Retroracing make the coolest bodyshells bar none. I've nearly finished my TA01 based Mk.2 and I think I'm going to do another straight after.

Here's a teaser, should have it on TC next month I hope

Martyn that looks mad with lights look forward to seeing finished model..... thanks for comments

Paul

[Sand Scorcher Has Landed In Uk]

We've had them in and almost all gone.

I tried to order some more but they've gone on back-order and aren't expected for a while, so might be time buy the wife some flowers

Thanks for the custom over the years - it's all going fine in the new place - Stevenage is open for another week and then that's it. It'll be sad to see it go, but the costs of that place have doubled in the last 5 years, and you get to a point when it's just not worth it any more...

Theres a Pm for you Neil

[Retroracing Escort Mk2]

were did you buy the shell from mate .............. and i hope your running it just RWD for some ******* end out action !!

http://www.retroracing.com/epages/OVK.sf/e...8/Products/2009 they are in Finland !!

its on a 4wd chassis but i'l see how it runs

[Sand Scorcher Has Landed In Uk]

Neil are these in short supply ?? prob order next month... if not i'l tell the misses iv got to panic buy

Sorry to see letter in door window of the shop advising moving to scotland, will miss popping in when im in stevanage - the shop will be missed.. but i understand reasons and wish you every success with new shop.

[Retroracing Escort Mk2]

That is very nice and your girlfriend even got involved, I would have to walk over hot coals to get my wife to even talk about them let alone paint some of it. Looks wicked.

My misses has her own Rc cars, a Subaru WRC & a Nitro truck..........
